This is What a Motorcycle Cops Sees When Chasing a Car (Video)

We've all seen the helicopter's point of view of a car chase, but we haven't seen a chase from a motorcycle cop's before. Officer Troy Gurley of the Florence, AL police has now shown the world how well he handles a bike while chasing down Justin Sanders who, very erroneously, thought he could out run a motorcycle in a Mazda3. He couldn't.

The pursuit lasted about five minutes, during which Sanders committed about a bajillion more moving violations than whatever he was being pulled over for in the first place. Eventually he tried to abandon his car and flee on foot, but ended up just being squished into the dirt by a pile of cops. His decision-making skills are questionable.
